Rock Lake in May

Arcas DD

The Lethbridge Rocketry Association held the Rock Lake high-power rocket launch on May 11, 2024.

All of my previous rockets were cardboard-based. Strong enough for high-power, if the rocket wasn’t going too fast. Faster rockets need stronger construction, so I built a fiberglass rocket. Based on a Madcow 2.6″ Arcas with a 38mm motor mount, I modified it for DD by adding an altimeter bay and upper airframe section.

Flying on a CTI Pro38 H125, it rose to 2266 ft. The dual deployment worked perfectly and the rocket was recovered in excellent condition, except that the vinyl “S” peeled of off the rocket during flight.
